ANS: C
Radiopaque dyes often induce temporary renal insufficiency, so metformin should be discontinued 24 to 48 hours before procedures in which radiopaque dye will be administered. Metformin is not administered before meals. The pancreas does not secrete more insulin as a result of taking this medication. Metformin does not increase triglyceride levels.
